Expert Tips and Recipe Ideas
- Use firm, crisp apple varieties like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji. These hold their texture and add a refreshing crunch.
- For extra flavor, mix sweet and tart apples for balance.
- Use shredded rotisserie chicken or poached chicken breast for convenience. Shredded chicken absorbs the dressing better than diced pieces.
- Opt for a mix of red and green cabbage for a vibrant, colorful slaw.
- Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of celery seed for depth.
- Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill to brighten the flavors.
- For a fall-inspired twist, try thyme or rosemary.
- Toss in chopped walnuts, pecans, or slivered almonds for added crunch and nuttiness.
- For a nut-free option, use sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- Include dried cranberries or golden raisins for pops of sweetness.
- Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to prevent apples from browning and boost acidity.
- Store the slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
